So, what happens when GSM runs it's course? GSM doesn't have the capability to run Data like CDMA does and the way phones are going, we are likely to all be using video conferencing in the next 2 years. GSM will be left far behind.
So what's next? The GSM carriers seem to be talking about going W-CDMA; a bastardized version of Qualcomm's CDMA standard that is WAY behind in development. Things will be interesting the next 4-5 years.
